You know there’s other way to meet men, Kathleen…


75, 85, 90, 95, 105, failed at 110


Well, it finally happened today ;-(
I have a shoulder prone to dislocation due to an old injury and associated torn ligaments. But I had managed to keep the sucker in it’s socket for years.
At 117lb power snatch, I had the weight overhead, but somehow my shoulder was dislocated. Happened so fast I have no idea what I did wrong. Did not enjoy the resulting scene in the crowded gym, dropping the weight and trying to find a place the re-set my arm in it’s socket.
Between that, an elbow injury that won’t heal and bicycle crash on my commute this morning, I’m ready to pack it in for a while. Now I’m going to go fetch my last beer. Sorry for the rant, I needed to vent.


ouch Pierre, sorry to hear about all that. Relax and rest a bit then refocus. Odd as it can seem there is a saying that every event that occurs is for your benefit. I’ve been having treatment on my elbow for months so hear you on that aspect.
Take care.
